This did not need to happen

This is just sad. A Chicago area woman and her unborn child were killed by an alleged drunk driver who was passing several cars in a no passing zone, speeding, crossed the center line and hit her head on. Here's the story.

I don't know where Mr. Homatas was going in such a hurry but it sure was not anywhere that was worth killing a woman and her unborn child. No passing lanes and speed limits are put there for a reason. Because this jerk could not slow down and had to pass in a no passing zone, be in such a hurry to get who knows where, a families joy has turned to tragedy. This man, and I use the term loosely, is in critical condition at a hospital. I hope he survives and has to live the rest of his life knowing what he has done. Dying is too nice for a person like this. This also goes to show that the driveling test needs to be a little tougher. Anyone can drive good just to pass the test. This person according to the article posted above had a terrible driveing record but was somehow able to get a drivers license. How this was possible I would really like to know. I cannot even begin to imagine the grief April's husband must be feeling right now. I just cannot imagine what it would be like to loose your wife and unborn child weeks before the baby is due. My prayers go out to the family. I don't know them, never met them, probably never will but this story upset me so much I felt I had to say how I felt and express my condolences. The most upsetting thing is that this could have been avoided if Mr. Homotas had slowed down. I'm sure where ever he was going was not worth the price of three lives. Like I said, I hope he survives so he has to think about that the rest of his life.
